The Berwick
15 Hill View Terrace, East Victoria Park WA 6101
We’ve watched Baillie Hill slowly take shape over the past couple of years, and Vic Park has very much won big with its arrival earlier this year. The Berwick sits right in the heart of it all, bringing an easygoing pub to the precinct that feels like an instant local favourite.
There are 48-hour fermented pizzas coming out of the kitchen, but the food menu runs the a full pub grub gamut, with burgers, steaks, fish and chips, salads and more. It’s the kind of place that works just as well for a casual midweek dinner as it does for a long, lazy weekend session with a group.
INSIDER INTEL:
- The staff here might just be the happiest in Perth
- Kids'll love the Berwick, with a huge playground within the precinct, a dedicated childrens menu of kids clasiscs
Katzu Katzu

From the team behind Yuuma comes Katzu Katzu, an East Vic Park tonkatsu specialist led by ex-Nobu chef Sean Hong. One of the few spots in Perth dedicated entirely to the art of katsu, the focus here is on seriously thick-cut pork cutlets—up to 5cm thick—made using richly marbled Berkshire pork for maximum juiciness and crunch. Fresh breadcrumbs keep things extra crisp without feeling heavy, while generous katsudons and set meals make this a certified comfort-food situation.
The vibe is casual, the portions are huge, and every order comes with free-flow rice, so leaving hungry isn’t really on the cards. Whether you go for the signature pork katsu or branch into the broader menu, this is the kind of spot that'' give you a full-blown crumbed cutlet obsession.
INSIDER INTEL:
- Unlimited self-serve miso soup and bottomless rice means the value here is kind of ridiculous
- Walk-ins only, so get in early to nab a seat
Qin’s Lanzhou Beef Noodle
873 Albany Hwy, East Victoria Park WA 6101

When comfort is on the cards, few things hit harder than a giant bowl of Qin’s hand-pulled noodles. Originating from Lanzhou in northwest China, these noodles are all about that distinctive clear broth—deeply savoury, aromatic and slurpable. Better still, every bowl is made to order, with your noodles stretched fresh at your chosen thickness and width before landing in front of you in gloriously oversized portions.
The signature beef noodle soup is the obvious starting point, tangled with spring onion, coriander, chilli oil and tender slices of beef. Repeat visits are basically mandatory once you realise how many noodle styles and sides there are to work through.
INSIDER INTEL:
- Do not skip the shredded potato either—it’s cut so finely it looks like another bowl of noodles entirely
- The portions are huge and the noodle refills are free
Funky Momo
604 Albany Hwy, Victoria Park WA 6100
Funky Momo's is not your avergae dumpling house. Specialising in Nepalese momos—those plump, juicy parcels of joy—you’ll find them steamed, pan-fried or deep-fried, with a lineup of fillings including of chicken, pork, lamb and a vego options. The result is bite-sized comfort with just the right amount of chew, crisp and juice.
But it’s not just a one-trick dumpling shop. The menu stretches well beyond momos, with a mix of Nepalese-inspired plates that hold their own alongside the signature parcels. It’s fast, flavour-forward and built for sharing in the heart of Vic Park.
INSIDER INTEL:
- Craving noodles? The chowmein will scratch that itch
- For the most bang for buck, order the jumbo platter, filled with 25 momo plus kothey and chilli sadheko
Izakaya Tori

Follow the glow from the hanging red lanters and you'll find yourself at Izakaya Tori, one of the newer Japanese joints to join the Albany Highway strip.
Yakitori leads the way, with skewers ranging from flame-grilled wagyu beef and pork belly to chicken hearts and kingfish wings. Ordering via iPad adds to the experience in a way that feels very Tokyo-adjacent—quick, intuitive and slightly addictive as the table fills up faster than expected.
INSIDER INTEL:
- BYO wine is welcome, or lean into the sake and let the staff steer you
- It’s walk-in only, so arrive early if you’re rolling in with a group
- Don’t skip the rencon chips—crispy fried lotus root with house teriyaki dip
Kuza
393 Albany Hwy, Victoria Park WA 6100
Kuza has nailed the twists and turns of Japanese fusion with their fresh, flavourful eats. The always-smiling staff are more than happy to guide you through the menu if you need a steer, but the real joy here is simply leaning in and ordering broadly—you can’t really go wrong.
From delicate sashimi and rich wagyu tataki through to soft shell crab, unagi don, pork belly and lobster sashimi, the menu moves confidently between raw, grilled and indulgent. There are also a few curveballs worth chasing, like the gyokai ravioli, tofu steak and tuna tartare.
INSIDER INTEL:
- Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, including a standout tofu steak
- The yuzu sour is the cocktail to order, with a solid mocktail lineup if you’re skipping alcohol

Katen has seriously mastered the art of all things deep fried with bowls full to the brim of flavour. Our hot tip?

Arriving at Neho Asian Tapas is as delightful as the neon lights and hilarious signs that do but don’t make sense. Boasting a pretty impressive Asian fusion menu, it’s hard to go here without wanting to order everything. The tea smoked duck, rendang short ribs and Hatyai fried chicken is a winning combo if you really need to narrow things down—you can thank us later.
The Prophet
907A Albany Hwy, East Victoria Park WA 6100
Whilst technically over the border in East Vic Park, we promise The Prophet is worth its spot on the list. With good service, good atmosphere and great food, it will easily become your new fave eatery. The Lebanese menu has plenty of tempting options for vegetarians and meat eaters alike, and you should probably trust the staff when they very politely mention you might have ordered too much.

Ria Ayam Penyet
417 Albany Hwy, Victoria Park WA 6100
After setting up shop over East, we were just a tad excited to hear the very trendy Ria would be gracing the shores of Perth.

Try the best selling crispy vegetable stuffed tofu with a side of chilli washed down with an iced tea or coconut jelly treat.

The menu here is extensive, so allow us to help: get the roast duck (with rice, obviously). It’s the best roast duck in Perth, hands down. Crispy skinned and succulent, it comes with a choice of two sauces, both of which you’ll be asking for more of. Add to that the roast pork, the salt and pepper squid and a plate heaped with greens and oyster sauce, and you’re set.
Little Ying Thai
3/895 Albany Hwy, East Victoria Park WA 6101
This neighbourhood gem is the kind you really want to keep a secret but just can’t stop talking about. The Thai dishes are melt in the mouth and jam packed full of fresh and wholesome flavours. Head’s up, the massaman is a crowd fave.
Cosy Del’s
13 Lathlain Place, Lathlain WA 6100
Image credit: Cosy Del's | Instagram
This intimate Italian diner sits just outside Vic Park in Lathlain, but it’s close enough to feel very much part of the neighbourhood mix. Cosy Del’s proves that size doesn’t matter, serving up Northern Italian-inspired fare in warm, low-lit, and, as the name suggests, cosy dining room.
The menu shifts with the seasons, but the focus stays firmly on simple, confident cooking done well. That means ever-changing housemade pastas, refined protein plates and snacky starters made for sharing, alongside a boutique wine list that moves easily between old-world and new-world drops.
INSIDER INTEL:
- If Nonna’s lasagne makes an appearance on the specials board, don’t overthink it
- There’s a dog-friendly outdoor area, so four-legged dinner dates are welcome too
- Ideal for low-key date nights that still feel a little bit special
Vic Park Hotel

After the beloved Vic Park Hotel underwent a massive $2.3 million glow up including a brand spankin’ new airy beer garden and function space—not to mention banging Brazilian-inspired eats courtesy of Head Chef Andre Nunes—grabbing a pint at the local has never looked better. The kids menu also slaps, and with a dedicated playground out back it's a no brainer for low fuss family dinners.
Frank’s Texas Smokehouse
767 Albany Hwy, East Victoria Park WA 6101
Set in an old car yard along Albany Highway, Frank's delivers some serious Americana vibes. Their huge outdoor space—complete with long picnic style tables and festoon lighting—is perfect for a big feed with friends on a hot summer evening, especially considering the drinks are so cheap. Whatever you do, though, just make sure you get a serve of the moist brisket. It's not going to win you any health points, but damn, it's one of the juiciest slabs of meat you'll find around Perth.
